91. Let’s go to get off work together tomorrow
The crisis was resolved in the blink of an eye.
Su Liu looked at the mess on the ground and the carved metal door that had been forcibly torn open by the admiral, and felt a sense of unfounded frustration.
What on earth was she worried about being next to the Admiral?
Huo Jie entered the room and crushed the collapsed metal door with his military boots.
"Aren't you coming in?"
"Coming." Su Liu, who was in a daze, hurried in.
The inside was much bigger than she had imagined, like a lair guarded by an evil dragon, with rare treasures everywhere.
Some weapons passed down from ancient times, such as swords, spears, swords and halberds, as well as antique calligraphy and paintings with a long history, porcelain and jade, etc.
"It's so good that you can open a museum here." Su Liu said in admiration.
Huo Jie went straight to the innermost document safe and took the time to answer Su Liu, "They were collected by our ancestors who loved historical relics."
Although he thought it was a piece of junk not worth collecting, it was the legacy of his ancestors. If he disposed of it without authorization, he would be beaten by his ancestors after his death.
Su Liu was admiring the exhibits slowly from behind, and suddenly stopped when he passed rows of display cabinets displaying raw gemstones.
In the glass cabinet, a pile of azure aquamarine rough stones lay quietly on the silk, like silent mermaids sleeping in the depths of the sea.
And one of the aquamarine...
Su Liu was stunned for a moment, then walked towards several other display cabinets.
Very familiar rubies, mutton-fat jade, sapphires...
She recognized at a glance a few gems that were not very conspicuous among the many raw jewelry stones.
So similar.
When she was worried about the weapon skeleton, Shudelai sent her the gems on behalf of the association and let her choose as she pleased.
She never understood who "sponsored" her gems.
turn out to be……
Looking at Huo Jie in front of him, Su Liu felt very complicated.
Huo Jie had already arrived in front of the filing cabinet, violently dismantled it, and quickly searched through it.
Su Liu walked up behind him, poked his head in and asked, "Since you can demolish it by force, why did you waste time entering the password just now?"
"I'm not a violent person who would resort to violence at any time," Huo Jie explained as he searched, "More importantly, I hope to find the letter without alerting anyone."
Su Liu had already heard footsteps, and many people were coming this way.
The guards should have confirmed from the monitoring room who broke into the collection hall.
But due to Huo Jie's identity, they had no way to express their grievances. Even if they came, they could only block outside until Vion or Vincent came.
Unfortunately, those two were not here tonight, which gave Huo Jie an opportunity.
The entire safe was searched, but there was no trace of the letter.
Seeing that the Admiral seemed clueless, Su Liu whispered, "Could it be that Weiong had it with him, or perhaps it was burned after he looked at it?"
It is impossible to carry it with you.
As for burning...
Huo Jie had thought about this possibility, but he didn't give up and wanted to look for it again.
The two searched in other places but still found nothing.
Su Liu crawled out from under the cabinet and looked up to see the oil painting on the wall.
It's a very retro style. The picture shows a beautiful woman. Judging from her facial features, she looks a bit like an upper-caste Indian in the Earth period. She is plump but not fat, gentle but smart.
Moreover, he seems to be a bit like Ansel.
Su Liu was watching intently when Huo Jie suddenly appeared behind her.
"It's Ansel's mother, Schna."
Su Liu was startled and turned around and said, "Can you please not show up so suddenly?"
Huo Jie smiled lightly and then looked at the oil painting.
"Schna is a gentle and kind person. Although she is not Vincent and I's biological mother, she treats us as her own children. Before she was brought back by my father, this castle was always cold and without any warmth."
Su Liu blurted out: "Is she the sun, capable of shining and giving off heat?"
Huo Jie gave her a resentful look and said, "Haven't you learned metaphors?"
Su Liu laughed awkwardly and looked at the person in the painting carefully again.
She is indeed a rare beauty with a gentle expression. Just by looking at her face, you can tell that she is definitely not a vicious stepmother.
But why is there a hint of sadness deep in her brow?
Although he had already learned from Silena that Xuena had died of illness, Su Liu still asked, "Has this person passed away?"
Since he couldn't find the letter anyway, Huo Jie leaned his back against the edge of the cabinet, folded his arms and slowly explained the whole story.
"When she passed away, Ansel was heartbroken. At that time, Vion was still in the army, and even after receiving the news that Xuena was seriously ill, he was unable to return in time. For this, Ansel has always been dissatisfied."
Xuena never got to see her beloved husband and died with deep regret.
"I heard that the young master's biological mother also died of illness?" Su Liu thought to himself, this sir is really unlucky with his wife.
She didn't dare to say it out loud, but Huo Jie didn't care.
"A man like Vion, who is unlucky in marriage, will bring disaster to anyone he marries. Whether it's Vincent's biological mother or Xuena, if they hadn't met Vion, perhaps their lives would have been different."
As soon as the words fell, a deep and somewhat aggrieved voice came.
"It really breaks my heart as a father to be told this by my own son."
Su Liu was surprised to hear the voice. He turned around and saw that it was Victor, so he bowed quickly.
Huo Jie had known he was coming, and without turning his head, he said, "Give me the letter, and I'll take it back."
Victor pretended not to hear and walked up to Su Liu and asked with a smile, "Are you used to being in the Ruins Garden, Liu Liu?"
Su Liu glanced at Huo Jie and quickly said, "It's okay. The work isn't that difficult."
Victor showed a relieved expression of "That's good", but then he frowned again.
"That bastard Ansel refused to come home, saying he wanted to go around the galaxy doing business. I've already sent people to apprehend him, so Liuliu will have to bear with you in the meantime."
Su Liu thought to himself, may the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother Nuwa, Fuxi, Mazu and the Dragon Kings bless Ansel and make sure he doesn't get caught!
Holding Su Liu's shoulders, Victor kindly led her outside: "Go back to bed quickly, it's almost dawn. If you don't get enough sleep, you won't grow taller."
Su Liu didn't dare to refuse. He secretly glanced at Huo Jie and found that he had followed.
In the corridor, after discovering that the situation was under control, the guards split into two groups in a well-trained manner, one group retreated while the other repaired the artificial intelligence.
Victor and Su Liu were walking one step ahead and the other behind, chatting idly. Huo Jie lagged behind them one step and followed them slowly.
"Don't be prejudiced against anyone in the military. Scum is always scum. They won't suppress their malice just because they're in uniform." Victor kindly warned, "The same goes for the planters. Even the most innocent faces may conceal terrifying grimaces. Don't take it lightly."
Su Liu nodded: "Thank you for your guidance, I will pay attention."
When they reached the fork in the road, Victor gave Su Liu a meaningful look and then instructed Huo Jie, "Since you're back, take Liu Liu with you to and from get off work tomorrow. Liu Liu isn't used to taking a cruise."
Su Liu immediately sank into his dantian and refused in a high-pitched voice that could scare others: "No, absolutely not!"
Commuting with the general?
This is too tiring.
"Don't worry, his private airship won't be overloaded." Victor deliberately distorted the reason for Su Liu's resistance and said kindly, "It's settled."
